Yes and No. Cause their isn't any internet option. Maybe he created the YouTube on W10 with VMware running W11??

Thanks.

I would have no idea how he created the video

Hopefully some expert might step in..

Thanks

You're not getting internet in Safe Mode because when you select "With Networking" it's not loading your wifi drivers.

Hi @Brink ,

You're expert thoughts on why am not getting internet doing exactly as the person?

I see, but should get connected via lan?
Thanks

If you have ethernet on that computer, you should be able to get internet via LAN, but again, it might not be loading those drivers either.

I can only assume that the network driver or software may not be getting loaded during safe mode.

Exactly.... tried both. None works.
Like posted earlier he's probably on W10 running W11 on VMware.

Thanks

VMWare has its own drivers that it uses inside VMs... that's probably why it works for that person.

That's what my gut feeling was, as in the earlier posts..

The aim was to discharge the battery in safe mode, but using the laptop. Not just leaving it idle. As recommended by an expert member!

You can download the software (not in Safe Mode), leave the installer sitting on the desktop, boot into Safe Mode and try to install it from there... If that doesn't work, boot into normal Windows, install the software, then boot in Safe Mode and try to run it... that way you don't need internet in Safe Mode for any of this.

What software....I intended to keep working in safe mode..my

Assumed that is possible to get connected to the internet in safe mode...

This is the software recommended earlier in this thread: Free Stress Test Tool HeavyLoad | JAM Software (I have NOT tried it and know nothing about it)

Any ideas on how long would it take to drain the battery?

Thanks

Pending on the software could be anywhere from like 10 minutes to couple of hours.

That's acceptable. Since on OS would take min 4-5 hrs.

Thanks.

If I've missed an explanation of this along the line somewhere, please excuse me. But this discrepancy of a few percent is not a critical issue that has to be dealt with immediately, so why not do the test to see if safe mode will help when you are not going to be using the computer, like over night?

It's not something you have to do immediately. Just make sure you have a full charge before going into safe mode and let it sit over night. When you wake in the morning, plug it in.
